I was able to get many family members to read The Hunger Games trilogy and that was a success. Since my best friend and I are miles apart I really don't have anyone to talk about books in person.Alexis @ Reflections of a Bookaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13745513625965620545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683638078189398634.post-4768339025900911942012-04-24T17:56:11.453-04:002012-04-24T17:56:11.453-04:00I spread the word more online than off.

There are so many great authors out there and they definitely need to be shown how much we love em! It's great that you've been able to get people reading and that you're passing books around to them. :)Jessica L.

I attempted to get a coworker to read a book a few years back, but she just never could get into anything fiction. It's so weird to me. I need to get more of my friends to read The Hunger Games, but surprisingly quite a few of them have read it already, which is awesome. :)Jessica L.

I am sure that I drive my husband and friends & family crazy. I share a lot about books and authors that I love. I have even got some of my co-workers reading. Right now I am passing the 50 Shades series around. I have all 3 books. First I read them, now my sons kindergarten teacher is almost done with book two. My friend is reading book 1 and then my manager at work is going to read them when she is on her flight to Vegas in a couple of weeks. I also share and spread the word or facebook and twitter. I love to promote what I love and that is reading. Anytime my friends or family have a book question, they call me. Love to show authors love and appreciation of their good work.Chrisbailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12211119853890993337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683638078189398634.post-34962755782342109022012-04-24T03:44:52.187-04:002012-04-24T03:44:52.187-04:00Ha.

I'm constantly walking up to people at work, dropping books on their desks, saying "read it" and walking away! I think I do it because like you there's really noone in my life who is an avid reader and the ones who are tend to read non fiction. I try to choose book I think other people would enjoy regardless of their taste but it's hard when people don't usually read. Still, I've pushed THG on heaps of people and they all loved it!Lanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00002224549199474383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683638078189398634.post-4654061993801425592012-04-23T22:40:43.212-04:002012-04-23T22:40:43.212-04:00I would love to be like you!

Part of it is probably my tendency to being shy and not drawing attention to myself. :PJessica L.

And those who aren't avid readers can become such when they get recommended great books by you. :)Jessica L.

If someone asks me what I've read recently...I'm that annoying girl who goes on a 5 minute tangent about ALL the great books I've read recently. That's how people get introduced to new/awesome books!<br /><br />Molli | <a href="http://onceuponaprologue.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Once Upon a Prologue</a>Molli @ Once Upon a Prologuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14817317037277260565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683638078189398634.post-92195466940536230652012-04-23T18:44:00.404-04:002012-04-23T18:44:00.404-04:00I do spread the word. the more people who know abo...I do spread the word. the more people who know about books, the better, I think. I'm lucky enough to have some RL friends who love to read and so we're always swapping recs. I'm sure it gets a little old for the ones who don't, but at least they're getting some exposure to great books! :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
